Permitting Action: This Facility is owned by the City of Gastonia and operated and maintained by Two Rivers
Utilities (TRU). TRU applied for the NPDES permit renewal for Eagle Road WWTP in August 2019. The WWTP
has a design capacity of 4.0 MGD and is currently authorized to discharge 4.0 MGD into South Fork Catawba
River, classified as WS-V. The class denotes use as water supply. The Eagle Road WWTP (Facility) serves about
6,700 customers within the Towns of Cramerton, Kings Grant, and Belmont. The pretreatment program is inactive
since 2006. The Facility provided June 2020 IWS for the entire area covered by the City of Gastonia's three
WWTPs. One non -significant industrial user (NSIU) in the City of Belmont (Syncot Fibers and Plastics — SIC
Code 2299) discharges into Eagle Road WWTP. Syncot Fibers and Plastics is regulated through the City of
Belmont's pretreatment program.
In 2017, TRU's staff expressed concerns about unusual plastic material in the biosolids in the digesters and the
lagoons. TRU solved this issue in a process that took from December 2017 to April 2020. The process included
Page 1 of 19
assessing the impacted residuals on Gastonia's permitted land; installing temporary filtering systems to capture
plastics and glass fibers to prevent plastic particles from escaping in the effluent and installing pretreatment for
glass fibers at the industry that caused the issue at Eagle Road WWTP, Syncot Plastics. The resulting glass fiber
contaminated biosolids from the digesters, and biosolids at both Eagle Road WWTP and Long Creek WWTP
were pressed and landfilled.
May 8, 2018, TRU's letter requested the addition of supplemental nutrient allocation, 144 lbs/day of TN and
7.6 lbs/day of TP, purchased from NC0005274 (Lowell Investments) to Eagle Road WWTP's permit.
August 1, 2019, TRU's cover letter for renewal application requested that the rescinded NPDES permit
NC0004812's allocation for 50 lb/day of TN and 8.3 lb/day of PT be added to Eagle Road WWTP's permit,
reduce monitoring frequency for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, and fecal coliform to twice per week, and reduce instream
monitoring to once per week. These requests are addressed below in this fact sheet.
Facility Background: The Facility was initially permitted to JPS Auto Products, a textile facility. The Town of
Cramerton purchased the Facility in 1999. In 2011 the Town of Cramerton and the City of Gastonia merged
their utility systems. The Eagle Road WWTP continues to operate as a secondary treatment plant with chemical
phosphorus removal with aluminum chlorohydrate. Since the last permit renewal, the aeration basin curtain was
replaced.

This Facility is subject to 1995 Lake Wylie's total maximum daily load (TMDL), a nutrient control management
strategy for the Lake Wylie watershed. The TMDL strategy included requirements for facilities to meet stringent
nutrient removal goals. Long Creek WWTP undertook significant improvements to meet the nutrient limits.
The receiving stream, South Fork Catawba River, was recently listed in the NC 2020 303(d) list for turbidity
(50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU), AL, FW miles). This stream is located from a point 0.4 mile
upstream of Long Creek to Cramerton Dam and Lake Wylie at Upper Armstrong Bridge. The Division expects
that the TSS loading limit for discharges to streams impaired for turbidity should not be allowed to increase.
When a TMDL is established, TSS permit loading limits will be revised to be consistent with any waste load
allocation.

Sample results for the sampled metals not included above, such as beryllium, cadmium, cyanide, lead,
molybdenum, selenium, silver, and thallium, were less than the method detection limit. The compounds in the
above table were analyzed in the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) and discussed below in the RPA section
of this fact sheet.
4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example, 1) to verify model predictions when
model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model
predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future total maximum daily load (TMDL); 4) based on
other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring
Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case
instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
Instream data summary and instream monitoring proposed for this permit action:
The current permit requires instream [upstream (U) and downstream (D)] monitoring for dissolved oxygen,
temperature, and hardness at one upstream location and one downstream location. The U location is about 1000
feet above the outfall at Cramerton Bridge on North Main Street. The D location is about 1.5 miles from the
outfall at Armstrong Ford Road. The figure below summarizes instream and effluent data from the analyzed
period, May 2016 - March 2021.

Page 4 of 19
DO: The minimum downstream DO detected was 6.5 mg/1, and the maximum DO differential between the
upstream and downstream samples was 2.2 mg/1. Instream DO was consistently above the standard of 5 mg/1
[per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)] at both the upstream and downstream sampling sites throughout the period
reviewed. Also, per the t-test was concluded that there is no statistically significant difference between
upstream and downstream DO.
Temperature: The maximum downstream temperature was 31 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature
differential between the upstream and downstream samples was 3.3 degrees Celsius on August 3, 2016— this
differential was greater than the standard of 2.8 degrees Celsius (15A NCAC 02b .0211 (18)). It was a one-time
situation and based on the t-test was concluded that there is no statistically significant difference between the
upstream and downstream temperatures.
Hardness: Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are being sampled at
a quarterly monitoring frequency following the 2016 Dissolved Metal Standards in order to calculate permit
limitations for the seven metals that have hardness -dependent equations (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Ag, and Zn). See
below the effluent and upstream data summary for hardness data from the analyzed period, May 2016 - March
2021.

With this permit renewal package, TRU requested to reduce instream monitoring to once per week; however,
per 15A NCAC 02B .0500 upstream and downstream monitoring in Water Quality -limited waters is to be
conducted 3/week during June, July, August, and September, and 1/week during the rest of the year, as specified
in the current permit. No changes are proposed for instream monitoring frequency.
The Division maintains two ambient monitoring stations in the South Fork Catawba River. One station is at SR
7 near McAdenville upstream of Eagle Road WWTP (downstream of the Long Creek WWTP) and the other
station is downstream of the Eagle Road WWTP at SR 273.

Is this Facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): NO
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA
5. Compliance Summary
From June 2016 to April 2021, the Facility received one notice of violation (NOV) for failing to reach the
daily minimum (Dmin) for pH on June 23, 2017. The MRO representative, Ori Tuvia, is working with the
Facility to monitor the Facility's compliance performance.
Summary of the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5
years):
The Facility passed seventeen of seventeen quarterly chronic toxicity tests from March 2017 to March 2021
and complied with all four 2nd species WET tests (6/2018, 9/2018, 12/2018, and 3/2019).
Summary of the results from the most recent compliance inspection:
The last facility inspection conducted in February 2020 reported that both secondary clarifiers were operational;
however, only one was in operation due to low influent flows. Also, the Region noted that the Facility should
continue to investigate a plan to prevent floodwater from the river from backing through the effluent pipe into
the chlorine contact basins and potentially the secondary clarifiers at the plant.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
6.1 Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following stream flows are used for dilution considerations for
development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life;
non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA
Stream flow values were extracted from the previous Fact sheet (2002-2016).
Page 6 of 19
6.2 Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure
protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g.,
BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model
results.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed:
The current permit sets BOD5 MA limit as 10.0 mg/L and the WA limit as 15.0 mg/L. The limits for BOD5 are
based on a 1994 QUAL2E modeling for the protection of the DO standard. The minimum DO value from May
2016 through March 2021 was 6.1 mg/1. See the DO effluent data trend from the last year in the figure below.
The draft Permit retains the existing BOD5 limits in this permit cycle, and a minimum DO limit is added, 5.0
mg/L —per 15A NCAC 02B .0211(6); class C waters apply to all waters of the State.

6.3 Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Sep-20 Oct-20
Dec-20 Feb-21
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0
mg/1 (summer) and 1.8 mg/1 (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a
multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of
aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1 (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported
below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal:
Ammonia: There are no proposed changes for ammonia. The current permit sets the ammonia MA limit as 4.0
mg/1 and WA limit as 12.0 mg/1 based on a calibrated QUAL2E model in 1994. The limits were not exceeded
in the evaluated period, and none of the ammonia results from the evaluated period exceeded 35 mg/1.
Page 7 of 19
TRC: The Facility uses chlorination as its primary disinfection. Clarified effluent is disinfected in a chlorine
contact basin where a sodium hypochlorite solution is introduced. Sodium bisulfite is used for dechlorination.
The current permit limits TRC at 28 ug/L as a daily maximum. Though several reported TRC values exceeded
the 28 ug/L daily maximum limit, the Facility is considered compliant with its permit since all reported values
were less than 50 ug/L. The maximum TRC value reported was 49 ug/L. The TRC limit has been reviewed in
the attached WLA and has been found to be protective. No changes are proposed for TRC.
6.4 Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent
data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure
utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of
1/2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) stream flows used for dilution consideration based on 15A
NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA
process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards,
dated June 10, 2016.
The RPAs were conducted for permitted flows of 4.0 MGD with a 7Q10S of 125 cubic feet per second (cfs)
and specific hardness values. The answers below are based on the RPA.
RPAs were conducted on effluent toxicant data collected in the Permittee's 2016 to 2018 effluent pollutant
scans and DMRs. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality
standards/criteria. The data set was limited for arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium total, copper, cyanide,
lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc. Based on this analysis, the following permitting
actions are proposed for this permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent
limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria: NA
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did
not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the
maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: NA
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, and the
maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Arsenic, beryllium,
cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, zinc and total phenolic
compounds.
These compounds will be monitored in the pretreatment program during this permit cycle: None.
Pretreatment program is currently inactive.
• POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for additional
pollutants of concern.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) with
monitoring since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable discharge
concentration: NA
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a limited
data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: NA
RPA results, as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater, are included
as attachments of this Fact Sheet.

6.5 Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued
to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than domestic
waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State
has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single
concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major Publicly Owned Treatment Work (POTW), and a
chronic WET limit will continue to be required on a quarterly frequency at Outfall 001 at 4.7% at 4.0 MGD
using Ceriodaphnia dubia. Per 40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)(v), four second species will continue to be required as well.
6.6 Mercury Statewide Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with
EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload
allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year) and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities
with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (-2% of total
load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal
facilities > 2 MGD and discharging multiple quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) received an MMP
requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern.
Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based
on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/1
A mercury evaluation was conducted in accordance with the Permitting Guidance developed for the
implementation of the statewide Mercury TMDL to determine the need for a limit. The Facility implemented
an MMP in September 2017.
Below find summaries of compliance mercury data from 2017 to 2021. Based on the dataset, the water quality -
based effluent limitation (WQBEL) for mercury is 253.9 ng/1, and the technology -based effluent limit (TBEL)
is 47 ng/l.

minimization plan (MMP) will continue to be required in this permit cycle because multiple quantifiable levels
of mercury were >1 ng/1.

6.7 Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within
this permit:
Lake Wylie TMDL
The Facility is subject to the Lake Wylie Nutrient TMDL and Management Strategy, which addresses eutrophic
conditions and chlorophyll -a water quality violations in the North Carolina portion of Lake Wylie and its
tributaries. The TMDL was developed in 1995 and approved by the EPA in 1998. The Strategy set TN and TP
load allocations for the lake and each major tributary. It then set individual mass load allocations (and the
equivalent concentrations) for existing large WWTPs and provided a process to allow for new/expanding
discharges. In the year 2000, the Division included permit limits of 6.0 mg/L (summer only) for Total Nitrogen
(TN) and 1.0 mg/L (year-round) for Total Phosphorus (TP) in the affected permits. Technology -based TN and
TP allowances for the existing industries (Clariant Corporation, NC0004375; Pharr Yarns, NC0004812; and
Kings Mountain Venture #1, NC0005274) were set based on BAT determinations prepared by each Facility.
(For the purposes of the following explanation, "allocation" means a water -quality -based cap on the amount of
nutrients that a permittee can potentially discharge, as established in a TMDL, applicable rule, or other
mechanism. On the other hand, "allowance" means a technology -based cap, such as through a BAT
determination.)
In 2013, Clariant sold most of its TN and TP allocations to the City of Charlotte for a planned wastewater
facility. Subsequently, other permittees expressed interest in transferring allocations ("trading"). In order to be
transferred between facilities, allocations must be expressed as mass loads. In response to the increased interest,
the Division calculated the mass load allocations for the facilities subject to the TMDL. In addition to the
TMDL's summer limits for TN and year-round limits for TP, it established new winter allocations and limits
for TN, equivalent to 12 mg/L TN.
The Division now implements nutrient controls in Lake Wylie using the following approach:
• The distribution of nutrient allocations — and any transfer of allocations — must be consistent with the
approved Lake Wylie TMDL.
a. The point source allocations assigned in the TMDL to the lake and its tributaries are valid
only in the original study area and cannot be transferred outside that area except through
modification of the TMDL and the approval of EPA Region 4.
b. Similarly, the tributary allocations identified in the TMDL are only valid within the assigned
subwatersheds and cannot be transferred elsewhere without EPA approval.
• Within each subwatershed, transfers and other changes in allocations cannot result in exceedance of the
tributary allocations in the TMDL. If additional industrial facilities request allocations based on BAT
determinations (none are foreseen at this time), the Division will consider the request with Region 4.
• Only those allocations that were identified in the TMDL (WWTPs) and approved allowances
(industries with approved BAT determinations) are valid. Facilities within the Lake Wylie study area
cannot receive credit for connecting other WWTPs located within or outside of the study area.
• No transfer of allocation will be incorporated into NPDES permits until the Division is satisfied that
the transfer will not result in localized impacts ("hot spots").
• TN allocations and limits will be implemented as follows:
Page 10 of 19
a. Summer mass TN allocations and limits for all affected dischargers will be set based on the
summer daily loads in the TMDL;
b. Winter allocations and limits will be based on 12 mg/L or other approved BAT
determinations;
c. Summer and winter mass TN allocations and limits for affected industries will be based on a
proportional split of the annual values, that is, 214/365 of the annual allowance for summer
and 151/365 for winter.
• TP allocations and limits will be implemented as annual mass values based on daily loads specified on
the TMDL or an approved BAT determination.
Applicable Nutrient Limits; Performance.
In its 2013 renewal application, Gastonia requested "bubble" limits for TN and TP for its Long Creek facility
(NC0020184) and its Eagle Road WWTP (NC0006033). The revised limits were included when the permits
were renewed in 2017. In both permits, per the Permittee's request, the monthly average TP limit of 1.0 mg/L
was replaced with an annual TP Load limit, and summer and winter TN Load limits (lb/season) were added.
With the 2017 permit renewal, Gastonia requested to add the loads from the following decommissioned
facilities: Ranlo, High Shoals, McAdenville, and Pharr Yarns. The towns of Ranlo, High Shoals, and Stanley
were connected to the Long Creek Facility but were not included in the TMDL as they were minor facilities.
As such, they did not have allocations in the approved TMDL implicit or explicit.
The individual allocations and combined limits at Outfall CO1 and the actual discharge loads for 2015-2020 are
as follows:

Changes in Nutrient Allocations/ Allowances.
In 2017, Pharr Yarns was an industrial facility with a discharge of domestic and industrial wastewater not
connected to the Long Creek Facility, discharging directly to the South Fork Catawba River. In January 1, 2021,
the Pharr Yarns permit (NC0004812) was rescinded, and with this permit renewal, Gastonia requested the
inclusion of Pharr Yarns' nutrient allocation in the permit for the Eagle Road WWTP. The Division is adding
the nutrient allocation previously activated for Pharr Yarns (8,031 lb/season (TN Summer); 5,667 lb/season
(TN Winter); and 1,522 lb/season (annual TP)).
For the purpose of setting nutrient effluent limitations, the Long Creek and Eagle Road allocations continue to
be combined and are being modified to reflect increases in the Eagle Road allocations resulting from its
connection with the Pharr Yarns facility. The revised combined allocations and "bubble" limits for Outfall C01
are as follows:

Footnotes:
1. In accordance with the 1995 Lake Wylie TMDL, summer values apply April 1 - October 31, and winter
values apply November 1- March 31.
2. Total Phosphorus values apply for the calendar year; January 1 to December 31.
3. All values are displayed to the nearest pound. The Combined Load Limitations may not equal the
apparent sum due to the effects of rounding the individual values.
4. Limitations include the addition of Pharr Yarns allocations (8,031 lb/season (TN Summer); 5,667
lb/season (TN Winter); and 1,5221b/season (annual TP))
Allowances Held in Reserve. On December 27, 2017, the City of Gastonia entered into a contract with Lowell
Investments I, LLC (NC0005274; originally owned by Crompton and Knowles, later by Kings Mountain
Venture #1) for the purchase of its TN and TP allowances. Per Contract, Lowell Investments, whose permit is
now rescinded, sold its nitrogen and phosphorus allowances to the City "for the sole purpose of having the Total
Allocation held in reserve under Buyer's NPDES permit," and the City has the exclusive option to activate
those allocations for its own discharge in return for a final payment to Lowell Investments. Gastonia can execute
its option and acquire the allowances for a period of up to 15 years (with allowable extensions), such as for a
Page 13 of 19
future expansion. Until that time, at least, the allocations for the Eagle Road facility are not affected by this
transaction.
The TMDL does not address transfers ("trades"), and the Strategy is not implemented through rule. However,
other nutrient strategies include provisions that are relevant and, in the Division's best professional judgment,
can be applied here. For instance, in other river basins or watersheds, facilities cannot purchase allocation to
increase their original limits until those facilities are expanded; and, at that time, the increased nutrient load
limits (its "active" allocations) cannot exceed the equivalent of the new permitted flow and specified treatment
performance standards, given as annual average concentrations. Any allocations in excess of this amount are
held in reserve until they are eligible for use.
6.8 Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA.
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA.
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0107(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA.
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/1
BOD5/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BOD5/TSS for Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for BOD5/TSS included in the permit? YES
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge)
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review
in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document
an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all cases, existing instream
water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may
be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits,
or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Page 14 of 19
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO. On the expiration of the
permit, there were not TP and TN concentration limits in effect.
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA
10. Monitoring Frequency Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations
and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance,
Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring
Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement
(BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent
limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -backsliding prohibitions would
not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
TRU requested that the required monitoring frequency for total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, and fecal
coliform be kept at twice per week. Upon evaluating the monitoring data, the Facility continued to meet the
approval criteria for monitoring reduction for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, and fecal coliform (based on the DWR
Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally
Performing Facilities); therefore, the Facility's monitoring frequency for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, and fecal
coliform will remain as twice per week.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December
21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional NPDES
reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December 21, 2020, to
December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as a final
regulation change published in the November 2, 2020, Federal Register. This permit contains the
requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.

14. Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable)
Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): Yes
If Yes, list changes and their basis below:
• The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet of the NPDES permit has been updated to reflect the correct
size of the following facility components Aeration basin: 6.3 MG; Clarifiers: 690,000 gallons each;
Chlorine contact basin: 94,000 gallons.
• Part I Section A. (8.) 1 Reporting Requirements of the NPDES permit has been updated to correct
language and include the following:
"The Permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be
accessed at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted,
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative"
• The TP concentration limit was removed from the Part I Section A. (1.).
• Special Condition A. (7.) was modified to update the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2024, 2025, and 2026).

Mr. Michael Montebello
North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality
1650 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
RE: Industrial Waste Survey Summary: 5-Year Report
Dear Mr. Montebello:
The City of Gastonia Two Rivers Utilities Department (TRU) is required by NPDES Permit Part IV, C, 2 and
15A NCAC 2H .0905 to implement on -going waste survey activities and submit a summary of these activities
every 5 years. This report covers these activities for June 2015 to June 2020.
TRU uses the following methods to implement survey requirements to identify new and changed users:
monthly non-residential sewer connection listings, North Carolina Manufacturers Register, economic
development reports and status updates, Planning Commission meeting information, site plan submittals,
building permit listings, new business listings in the Gaston Gazette, and customer inquiries.
All industrial users identified as a potential source of discharge are evaluated by one or more of the following:
phone call, email, site visit, IWS form or permit application. For efficiency, customers are allowed to complete
IWS forms, scan and email them directly to Pretreatment Staff. All information is obtained and evaluated to
determine whether an SIU or Local Permit is required.
On -going efforts since 2015:
2016 — Four industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. No permits were necessary.
2017 — No industrial users required an IWS. The Town of Stanley was issued an SIU Permit and IBC
Specialties was issued an IU Permit.
2018 — Five industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. No permits were necessary.
2019 — Eight industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. Pharr was issued an SIU Permit.
2020 — Six industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. Permit evaluation is pending on four
industrial users.
Page 1 of 2
The 2019 North Carolina Manufacturers Register was reviewed and compared to the on -going IWS list.
Following this, TRU's IWS list contained 321 IUs for evaluation. All IUs that had not been evaluated since
the previous 5-year report, were re-evaluated in May and June of 2020 by one or more of the following
methods: checking the status in the billing database to determine a sewer connection, evaluating previous
IWS information, phone calls or emails to obtain more information, receiving a new IWS form, or
performing a site visit. There were 68 IUs that were found to either no longer be in business or did not have
a sewer connection. Staff made calls and emailed questions to 67 lUs that were determined to need further
evaluation and requested that 5 IUs re -submit an IWS.
Attached is a spreadsheet (See Attachment A) that reflects the activities that have occurred during the current
5-year reporting period of June 2015 through June 2020. As a result of the re-evaluation and site visits,
TRU will continue to proceed with permit evaluations for: The Rolling Door Co, Champion Powder
Coating, C&R Hard Chrome Services, Inc. and RWM Casters Company. These facilities currently have the
potential to be regulated as a CIU under 40 CFR 433 for chemical etching. The volume and concentration
are currently being determined. A full permit application was also requested from each industry.
The following is information regarding industrial users located within satellite jurisdictions that have a
bulk sewer connection with TRU:
• City of Bessemer City, City of Belmont, Town of Clover and City of Kings Mountain have
approved Pretreatment Programs and provide new IU information to TRU through on -going
communications and/or during annual inspections.
• The Town of Stanley became a TRU sewer customer in January 2016. A Pretreatment Program for
the town is administered by Two Rivers Utilities. In May 2018, the IWS submission for Stanley was
received and met the requirements by NC DEQ.
• The Towns of Lowell, Ranlo, McAdenville and High Shoals do not have any IUs listed on the 2019
NC Manufacturer's Register or any other IUs that discharge regulated process wastewater.
TRU currently has 25 SIUs and 4 local permits (See Attachment B). The following permits were either
new, rescinded or had name changes that occurred during the reporting period June 2015-June 2020:
1) Town of Ranlo, Cookson Co., Firestone, and Porters Fabrication permits were rescinded.
2) Town of Stanley, Pharr, and IBC Specialties are all new permits.
3) Colortex USA renamed to Altus Finishing.
4) Chemtura renamed to Lanxess.
5) Portajon of the Piedmont renamed to United Site Services.
6) Earth Farms renamed to Wind River Environmental, LLC dba Stanley Environmental.
7) Wix, Affina Corporation renamed to Mann + Hummel.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-854-6672 or

Sincerely,

RE: Request for Revision to NPDES Permit NC0006033 to Add Supplemental Nutrient Allocation
Dear Mr. Templeton:
As has previously been discussed, the City of Gastonia requests that NPDES Permit NC0006033 (Eagle Road
Wastewater Treatment Plant) be modified to include supplemental nutrient allocation that the City of Gastonia
is purchasing from Lowell Investments I, LLC (NPDES Permit NC0005274).
The City of Gastonia and Lowell Investments I, LLC have entered into an agreement on December 27, 2017 for
the purchase of Lowell Investment I, LLC's total allocation of 144 Ibs/day of total nitrogen and 7.6 Ibs/day of
total phosphorus. An executed copy of this agreement is attached.
Per earlier discussions, our understanding is that this allocation can be added to permit NC0006033 by listing it
in as supplemental allocation. We understand this allocation would not become part of the active allocation
until there is an expansion of the flow limit for the facility.
Also from our earlier discussions, we understand that this revision will be considered a "Major Permit
Modification" and therefore have included a check to NCDEQ for the amount of $1,030.00 to cover this fee.
We appreciate DEQ's assistance with this permit request. Please let us know if there is anything additional
needed from us to complete this request.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Scheringer
Division Manager Wastewater Treatment

PURCHASE CONTRACT
THIS PURCHASE CONTRACT (hereinafter referred to a "Contract"), entered into this
2. 7 +A\ day of Oc,. , 2017, by and between LOWELL INVESTMENTS I,
LLC, hereinafter referred to as the "Seller"; and CITY OF GASTONIA, a North Carolina
Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Buyer";
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of a nutrient discharge allocation under the Lake Wylie
TMDL 1995 Catawba River Basin Wide Water Quality Management Plan consisting of 144
lbs/day of Total Nitrogen and 7.6 lbs/day of Total Phosphorus (the "Total Allocation") as
evidenced by NPDES Permit #NC0005274; and,
WHEREAS, Seller's NPDES Permit is scheduled to be terminated in early 2018; and,
WHEREAS, the Total Allocation will be eliminated upon the termination of Seller's
NPDES Permit unless the Total Allocation is transferred to another active NPDES Permit; and,
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources of the Department of
Environmental Quality has acknowledged that the Total Allocation can be transferred from
Seller's NPDES Permit #NC0005274 to be held in reserve for Buyer's NPDES Permit
#NC0020184 until such time as the Total Allocation would need to be activated by Buyer in order
to accommodate an increase in the nutrient limits currently approved for Buyer's NPDES Permit,
as evidenced by a letter from Michael E. Templeton, P.E. dated NOvQ\o -' \y , 2017,
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and,
WHEREAS, Buyer has no immediate need to increase Buyer's nutrient limits; however,
Buyer has determined that it would be in the best interest of its utility service rate payers to acquire
the Total Allocation to be held in reserve until such time as Buyer realizes a need to increase
Buyer's nutrient limits; and,
WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have agreed that it would be in their mutual best interests to
enter into an agreement whereby the elimination of the Total Allocation will be avoided by
transferring the Total Allocation to be held in reserve under Buyer's NPDES Permit, with Buyer
having the option to activate the Total Allocation for Buyer's use at such time as Buyer requires
an increase in Buyer's nutrient limits under Buyer's NPDES Permit;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, and the payments from Buyer to Seller referred to below, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Buyer and Seller agree as follows:
Agree1560
1. Purchase. Subject to the terms hereof and in consideration of the sum of two thousand dollars
($2,000.00) paid by Buyer to Seller (the "Option Money"), Seller hereby sells to Buyer the Total
Allocation for the sole purpose of having the Total Allocation held in reserve under Buyer's
NPDES Permit.
2. Option to Activate the Total Allocation. In further consideration of the payment of the Option
Money, Buyer hereby grants to Seller the exclusive option to obtain from the State of North
Carolina an activation of the Total Allocation as part of the nutrient limits Buyer is permitted to
discharge under Buyer's NPDES Permit (hereinafter the "Option"). The period during which
Buyer may exercise the Option shall commence upon the date of execution of this Purchase
Contract and shall continue and exist for a period of fifteen (15) years (the "Option Period"). The
Option Period may be extended by Buyer for two additional five (5) year Option Periods by
providing Seller with written notice of Buyer's intent to extend the Option Period at least 30 days
prior to the expiration of the then current Option Period.
3. Transfer of Total Allocation During Option Period. Upon execution of this Purchase
Contract, Buyer and Seller shall jointly file a request with the North Carolina Wastewater
Permitting Section of the Division of Water Resources of the Department of Environmental
Quality to modify their respective NPDES Permits in order to transfer the Total Allocation under
Seller's permit to Buyer's permit to be held as reserved allocation for Buyer's permit bubble limit
during the Option Period. In the event that the transfer of the Total Allocation is not approved or
cannot be accomplished for any reason, then this agreement shall terminate and Buyer shall be
entitled to a full refund of the Option Money. In the event that the transfer of the Total Allocation
is approved and accomplished but Buyer fails to exercise its option to activate the Total Allocation
during the Option Period, or any extension thereof, Buyer's right to activate the Total Allocation
shall terminate.
4. Exercise of Option. At any time during the Option Period, or any extension thereof, Buyer
may exercise its option to activate the Total Allocation by written notice personally delivered to
the Seller or deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, addressed to Seller at the notice address contained herein, or such other
notice address as Seller may provide Buyer in writing after the initial execution of this agreement.
5. Additional Consideration Due Seller Upon Exercise of Option. Upon exercise of the Option
by Buyer during the Option Period, or any extension thereof, the terms and conditions of such
activation shall be as follows:
(A) Additional Cash Payment. The Additional Cash Payment due Seller for the activation of
the Total Allocation by Buyer shall be two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00), payable to
Seller at closing. In the event that Buyer does not exercise the Option within five (5) years from
the date of execution of this Purchase Agreement, the amount of the Additional Cash Payment
shall increase by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, if
any, during that time period between five years from the date of execution of this Purchase
Agreement and the date that the Option is exercised by Buyer. Provided, however, that in no event
shall the Additional Cash Payment exceed $ 2S0.3 0 00 . Q Q
Agreel560
(B) Closing. Upon exercise of the Option Buyer shall immediately request from the appropriate
North Carolina regulatory authority written confirmation that the Total Allocation can and has
been transferred to Buyer's NPDES permit and activated such that Buyer may increase Buyer's
nutrient limits by an amount equal to the Total Allocation. The closing and payment of the
Additional Cash Payment shall occur at the offices of the Buyer or at such other place in Gaston
County, North Carolina as may be determined mutually by Buyer and Seller within ninety (90)
days of receipt of written confirmation from the appropriate North Carolina regulatory authority
that the Total Allocation has been permanently transferred to Buyer's NPDES permit and
activated. The parties shall also execute and deliver at closing any other documents reasonably
identified by Buyer and Seller as necessary or appropriate to complete and evidence the transaction
contemplated hereby.
(C) Conditions Precedent. The obligations and liabilities of the Buyer and Seller hereunder shall
be in all respects conditioned upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent. The
failure of any condition precedent, unless waived, shall entitle either party, in addition to its other
rights and remedies provided in this Purchase Contract, if any, to terminate this Purchase Contract
on or before the Closing Date and upon such termination due to the failure of Seller to be able to
complete the transaction, Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Option Money. Termination by
Seller due to Buyer's failure to be able to complete the transaction shall entitle Seller to retain the
Option Money as liquidated damages.
(i) Authorizations and Approvals. The Buyer shall have obtained the regulatory approval
and Buyer shall have obtained assurances to its reasonable satisfaction that Seller has the requisite
legal authority to complete the transaction contemplated herein. The Seller shall be satisfied as to
the content and scope of Buyer's regulatory approval and that Buyer has the requisite legal
authority to complete the transaction contemplated herein.
(ii) No Change in Seller's Total Allocation. Seller shall hold and be able to transfer
and/or Buyer shall be able to activate the entire Total Allocation offered. If, at the time of exercise
of the Option, Seller does not hold or is not able to transfer, or Buyer is not able to activate, the
entire Total Allocation offered, Buyer shall have the option, in Buyer's sole discretion, to either
terminate this Contract and receive a full refund of the Option Money; or, to proceed to closing
and purchase any smaller portion of the Total Allocation offered that Seller then holds and is able
to transfer and/or Buyer is able to activate with the Additional Cash Payment being reduced by a
percentage equal to the percentage by which the Total Allocation has been reduced.
(iii) Change in Laws. There shall have been no change in statutes or regulations and no
administrative or legal decision or opinion by any court or any administrative agency materially
affecting Buyer's ability to acquire, hold, activate and use the Total Allocation offered by Seller
for the purposes described herein, or affecting Seller's ability to transfer the Total Allocation
offered.
(iv) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made by Buyer and Seller in this Contract shall be true and accurate in all material respects.
Agree1560
(v) Change in or Elimination of the Lake Wylie TMDL. There shall be no change in
the Lake Wylie TMDL, which would eliminate all or a portion of the Total Allocation, or prevent
Buyer from activating all or a portion of the Total Allocation. Any such change in the Lake Wylie
TMDL shall entitle Buyer to terminate this Purchase Contract with no further obligations or duties
to Seller.
(D) Representations and Warranties of Seller. To induce Buyer to enter into this Purchase
Contract and to purchase the offered Total Allocation, Seller hereby makes the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this paragraph, upon each of which Seller acknowledges and
agrees that Buyer is entitled to rely and has relied. Seller has corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Purchase Contract and this Purchase
Contract has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, constitutes the valid and
binding agreement of Seller and is enforceable in accordance with its terms. Seller is duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of North Carolina and in good standing. The
execution and delivery of and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder do not and
will not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provisions of applicable law or regulation,
or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon Seller or
result in the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on any asset of Seller. To Seller's
knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or known to be threatened against or
affecting Seller in any court or before any arbitrator or before any governmental body which: (a)
in any manner raises any questions affecting the validity or enforceability of this Purchase Contract
or any other agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which it is bound and that is
to be used in connection with, or is contemplated by, this Purchase Contract; (b) could adversely
affect the ability of Seller to perform its obligations hereunder, or under any document to be
delivered pursuant hereto; or (c) could adversely affect the offered Total Allocation or the use or
purposes thereof. Seller has not filed a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an
arrangement with creditors or to take advantage of any insolvency or bankruptcy law.
(E) Representations and Warranties of Buyer. To induce Seller to enter into this Purchase
Contract and to sell the offered Total Allocation, Buyer hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in this paragraph, upon each of which Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
Seller is entitled to rely and has relied. This Purchase Contract has been duly executed and
delivered by Buyer, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Buyer and is enforceable in
accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of and the performance by Buyer of its
obligations hereunder do not and will not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provisions
of applicable law or regulation, or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other
instrument binding upon Buyer or result in the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on any
asset of Buyer.
(F) Seller's Covenants. Seller shall cooperate with and assist, and shall take no action that might
impede, Buyer in obtaining the legal authorizations and regulatory approvals. Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and avoid loss of any of Seller's offered Total
Allocation, and shall take no action that might reduce its value. In the event Seller becomes aware
of any action or event that potentially may cause loss, totally or partially, of the offered Total
Allocation, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such action or event.
Agree 1560
(G) Buyer's Covenants. Buyer shall submit its request for the transfer of the Total Allocation to
Buyer's NPDES permit immediately upon execution of this Purchase Contract; and Buyer shall
submit its request for the activation of the Total Allocation for Buyer's NPDES permit
immediately upon exercise of the Option and shall use its best efforts to obtain all legal and
regulatory authorizations as soon thereafter as practically possible. The failure of the proper
regulatory authority to issue the necessary approvals described herein shall not constitute an event
of default for either party, but shall afford either party the ability to elect to terminate this Purchase
Contract under sub -paragraph C hereof as an unsatisfied condition precedent.
(H) Remedies on Default. In the event of a default or other failure to perform hereunder by Buyer
of any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Purchase Contract prior to closing, Seller,
upon written notice to Buyer, may terminate this Purchase Contract, retain the Option Money and
obtain from Buyer any reasonable costs incurred by Seller in connection with this transaction as
liquidated damages and in full and complete satisfaction of any and all claims of damages or causes
of action that Seller may have against Buyer. The parties hereby acknowledge that the actual
damages of Seller would be difficult to ascertain. In the event of a default or other failure to
perform hereunder by Seller of any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Contract prior
to closing, Buyer, upon written notice to Seller, may terminate this Contract and receive from
Seller a refund of the Option Money plus any additional costs incurred by Buyer in connection
with this transaction as liquidated damages. The parties hereby acknowledge that the actual
damages of Buyer would be difficult to ascertain; except that, in the event Seller sells or otherwise
transfers to a person or entity other than Buyer all or any part of the offered Total Allocation during
the Option Period or after receiving from Buyer notice that Buyer is exercising the Option Seller
refuses to transfer the offered Total Allocation, Buyer may seek through a proceeding in equity
specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Contract.

Subject Proposed Transfer of Lowell
Investments' Nutrient Allocations
Long Creek WWTP
NPDFS Permit NC0020184
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Shellenbarger:
I have reviewed your September 12, 2017, outline of a potential agreement between Two Rivers
Utilities (TRU) and Lowell Investments for the transfer of nutrient allocations from the Lowell
Investments facility, NC0005274, to your Long Creek WWTP. In accordance with the 1995 Lake
Wylie Nutrient TMDL, Lowell Investments holds allocations of 1441b/day of total nitrogen
(TN) and 7.6 lb/day of total phosphorus ('1'P).
I believe that, in most respects, the outline provides a satisfactory framework for the transfer of -
these allocations. The Division of Water Resources could transfer the allocations to your Long
Creek facility in accordance with an acceptable sales agreement between the parties. The
transfer would be implemented by adding the allocations to the Nutrient Allocations special
condition of the Long Creek permit. The allocations would initially be designated as 'reserve'
but could be activated in the future to increase the facility's nutrient limits, consistent with the
Lake Wylie Nutrient TMDL.
Please note that the contract must transfer ownership of the allocations to TRU immediately
rather than merely provide an option for their future purchase. Each facility's nutrient
allocations are associated with its NPDES permit; thus, upon termination of Lowell
Investments' permit (expected in early 2018), any allocations it still holds will be eliminated and
no longer available to the company or to Two Rivers. As we discussed, the parties may be able
to craft a contract that executes the sale up front but defers payment until TRU needs to apply
the allocations.
In addition, the proposed 25-year duration of the agreement is excessive, given that significant
changes in the I .ake Wylie nutrient strategy could occur in that time. A 10- to 15-year term, with
the option to extend in 5-year increments, seems a more reasonable approach.

Outline of possible Lowell InvesLinents-Two Rivers Utilities agreement (David Shellenbarger,
TRU, 9/12/2017 email to Templeton):
Proposed Option for Purchase Structure:
1. The City of Gastonia will agree to pay Lowell Investments $XXXXX for an option to
purchase the phosphorus and nitrogen Threshold Management Plan allocation from the
site at 1602 N Main Street, Lowell. At any time prior to the expiration of this agreement,
the City may purchase this allocation in its entirety for the sum of $XXXXX.
2. Lowell Investments and the City of Gastonia will request to modify their respective
NPDES Permits such that 100% of the phosphorus and nitrogen allocation currently in
the Lowell permit will be transferred to NPDES Permit NC0020184 for the City of
Gastonia's Long Creek WWTP.
3. Until this purchase is completed, Lowell Investments will retain ownership of the
nitrogen and phosphorus allocation, but it will be temporarily transferred to the City of
Gastonia with an option to purchase and will be listed as Reserved Allocation for the
Eagle Road and Long Creek Bubble Limit within NPDES Permit NC0020184.
4. The transaction shall be structured as a purchase option with a term of 25 years. If the
option has not been exercised the end of this term, the parties shall agree to negotiate
in good faith on a renewal. In the event no renewal agreement can be reached, the City
agrees to request removal of the subject reserve allocation from its NPDES permit(s).
5. If the 1995 Lake Wylie Threshold Management Plan is reopened in a manner that does
not preserve this reserve allocation, the City of Gastonia is not obligated for any further

TWO RIVERS UTILITIES
PHARR YARNS, LLC
SANITARY SEWER SERVICE
UTILITY AGREEMENT
THIS SANLTARY SEWER SERVICE UTILITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made and entered
into the 4hlay of 2013 (the "Effective Date"), by and between the City of Gastonia, a North Carolina
municipal corporation, h einafter referred to as "City" or "TRU", and Pharr Yarns, LLC, a North Carolina limited
liability company, hereinafter referred to as "Customer" ("City", "TRU" and "Customer" are sometimes hereinafter
referred to as "Party" or the "Parties" collectively);
WITNESSETH:
That in consideration of, and subject to, the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties covenant and agree
as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. Customer agrees to buy wastewater treatment services from TRU, and TRU agrees to
sell wastewater treatment services to Customer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The
wastewater treatment services being sold by TRU shall at all times meet the standards for treatment of wastewater as
promulgated pursuant to the terms of the Clean Water Act at 33 USCA Sections 1251 through 1387, all as amended
from time to time, which standards have been adopted by the State of North Carolina Department of Health,
Environment, and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, under which standards TRU treats wastewater at its
wastewater treatment plants. TRU shall be the sole provider of wastewater treatment services to Customer; provided,
however, if TRU fails to provide the Maximum Capacity or Maximum Flow Rate (defined in Section 8 herein), in
addition to its other remedies, Customer may contract with another provider or construct its own facilities or
otherwise provide cover to address the excess; provided further, if Customer's wastewater'treatment needs exceed
the Maximum Capacity or Maximum Flow Rate, Customer may contract with another provider or construct its own
facilities or otherwise provide cover to address the excess.
2. Term. (a) This Agreement shall be effective from and after the Effective Date and shall continue and
remain in full force and effect for a period of twenty-five (25) years from and after the date upon which wastewater is
first treated for Customer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Commencement Date"). During the ninety
(90)-day period beginning on the date twenty-two (22) years from and after the Commencement Date, TRU may give
notice to the Customer of its desire to renew this Agreement for another twenty-five (25) year term, and upon the
giving of such notice, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith with reference to a renewal of this Agreement
based upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, including the Applicable Rate (defined
herein).
(b) If for any reason; (i) the infrastructure described in Paragraph 4 is not constructed, (ii) City fails to receive grant
funds from the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund, or (iii) the City fails to receive a loan from the
State Revolving Loan fund bearing an interest rate of zero percent (0%), this agreement shall terminate.
3. Contribution by Customer. Within sixty (60) days after the completion and approval of surveys as set forth
in subsection 3(e), Customer or one or more of its affiliates shall:
(a) Convey to TRU marketable fee simple title to such real property as necessary for the construction
of a wastewater treatment pump station to TRU. The real property conveyed shall be of the size
and location substantially as shown in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated by
reference. The real property to be conveyed shall not exceed one (1) acre and will be located
surrounding the existing wastewater treatment plant operated by the Town of McAdenville.
(b) Convey to TRU easements for gravity and force sewer mains, lines and appurtenances over and
across the real property shown on Exhibit B which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. The easements to be conveyed shall be substantially in the locations shown on Exhibit
B provided however, that should topographical or engineering constraints require the realignment
of such easements, the City shall submit a map showing the requested realignment to Customer for
its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Customer does not respond to
such submittal within 15 days, the proposed alignment shall be deemed to be approved.
(c) Convey to TRU such temporary slope and construction easements for and during the period of
construction as shall be reasonably requested by TRU for the construction of the Project as
described in Section 4. Such easements shall expire no later than the date that is (6) months after
the Project Completion Date.
(d) All permanent easements conveyed pursuant to this paragraph shall be at least thirty (30) feet in
width unless TRU determines that some lesser width is appropriate. If two sewer lines must be
located within the easement or if the sewer line is installed at a depth of more that twelve (12) feet,
Customer shall convey an easement at least forty (40) feet in width.
(e) Within six (6) months after the Effective Date, TRU shall have completed surveys of all of the
areas described in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above and submitted same to Customer for its
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Customer does not respond to
such submittal within fifteen (15) days, the proposed surveyed locations shall be deemed to be
approved.
4. Construction of Additional Facilities.
(a) TRU shall design and construct or contract for the design and construction of such sanitary sewer
infrastructure as is necessary to convey wastewater from the existing Customer wastewater
treatment plant to the existing TRU collection system ("Infrastructure") as shown on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to this Agreement.
Prior to commencing any work on property owned by Customer, TRU shall notify Customer of the
identity of all contractors with whom TRU has entered into contracts for completion of the
Infrastructure, who will be entering Customer's property and the scope of work to be completed by
such contractors. All construction shall be in compliance with applicable federal, state and local
statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. All construction of Infrastructure shall be completed in
a good and workmanlike manner consistent with standards for similarly -situated facilities in North
Carolina within thirty (30) months of the Effective Date ("Project Completion Date").
(b) Costs associated with the design and initial construction of the Infrastructure shall be the
responsibility of TRU; provided, however, that TRU may enter into agreements with third parties
concerning the funding of such costs. All contractors hired by TRU to perform work on property
owned by Customer shall carry insurance as provided in Section 14 with respect to such
construction activities and TRU shall provide certificates of such insurance to Customer.
(c) Upon completion, the Infrastructure located from the connection point with TRU's existing
collection system up to and including the manifold point, as shown on Exhibit C, shall belong to
TRU and become a part of its wastewater collection and treatment system. Upon completion, TRU
shall have completed as -built plans showing the actual location of all portions of the Infrastructure,
and TRU will provide a copy of such as -built plans to Customer. The remainder of the
Infrastructure shall belong to Customer and shall be maintained and operated by Customer.
(d) As soon as possible after the Commencement Date but in no event more than three months after
the Commencement Date, TRU shall commence repair of any damages and restore Customer's
property in a good and workmanlike manner so that the disturbed areas are substantially in the
same condition existing prior to commencement of work. Such repair and restoration work shall
be completed by the earlier of 6 months after the Commencement Date or the Project Completion
Date.
(e) Prior to construction of the metering point, TRU shall submit a representation of the proposed
exterior appearance of said metering point to Customer for Customer's approval. If Customer does
not respond to such submittal within fifteen (15) days, the proposed exterior appearance shall be
deemed to be approved.
5. Decommissioning of Existing Plant.
(a) TRU shall contract for the decommissioning and demolition of Customer's existing wastewater
treatment plant, consisting of basins, buildings and associated equipment ("Plant") as shown on
Exhibit D which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and pay any costs
associated therewith except as hereinafter provided. TRU shall be responsible for all costs related
to the disposal of materials resulting from the decommissioning and demolition provided that such
materials can be disposed of by land application or in a lined landfill. To the extent that any
materials require disposal in any other manner, including without limitation, a hazardous waste
landfill, Customer shall reimburse TRU for all costs related to such disposal in excess of the costs
TRU would have incurred had the materials been disposed of by land application or in a lined
landfill.
(b)
Any contract entered into by TRU for the demolition of the basins shall provide that basin concrete
shall be demolished and removed to a point three feet below pre -demolition grade and openings
shall be placed at the bottom of each basin to provide for groundwater control. Remaining concrete
shall be allowed to remain place. TRU shall provide and place sufficient clean fill on the Plant site
to bring the property up to proper grade as set forth in subsection 5(c) but shall not be responsible
for the compaction of such fill. Customer shall contract for the placement and compaction of the
fill to the level that Customer deems appropriate. Customer hereby releases and holds TRU, its
officers, employees, and agents harmless from against any and all liability, actions, debts, claims,
and demands of every kind whatsoever, specifically including any claim for negligence or
negligent acts or omissions, arising from or related to the portions of the concrete basins allowed to
remain in place and the manner and level of compaction of fill as described herein.
(c) All decommissioning and demolition work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner
by licensed and qualified contractors in compliance with applicable federal, state and local
statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. All decommissioning and demolition work shall be
commenced not later than three (3) months after the Commencement Date and be completed by the
Project Completion Date. Upon completion of the decommissioning and demolition, the grade
level of the property shall reflect the most efficient grading necessary to drain the site.
(d) Any equipment located in the Plant shall be disposed of by TRU or TRU's contractor as part of the
demolition and decommissioning. Customer shall be responsible for removing all other equipment
located outside of the Plant.
(e) TRU shall submit an invoice, including supporting documentation, to Customer for any costs for
which Customer is responsible, which shall be due and payable within 30 days after submission.
6. Operation of System. TRU shall operate and maintain its wastewater collection and treatment system
consistent with all state and federal laws and in as efficient a manner as possible consistent with standards generally
observed in North Carolina by operators of similarly -situated facilities. TRU shall remedy any failures in said
system with all possible dispatch. In the event of an extended inability to furnish sewage treatment services at the
volumes set out herein, the services to Customer shall be maintained in the same proportion of the total services
remaining after the reduction that it was entitled to before such reduction.
7 Price of Wastewater Treatment. TRU will bill and Customer will pay to TRU, on a monthly basis for all
metered wastewater discharged to TRU's wastewater system from Customer, an amount equal to the prevailing rate
for nonresidential customers inside the City as set forth on the then -current published Water and Sewer Rate
Schedule, and such schedule is revised and published from time to time by TRU (hereinafter, the "Applicable Rate").
Monthly billing shall be defined as TRU's ongoing billing cycle for the area in which the meter involved is located.
8. Maximum Capacity and Maximum Flow Rate. TRU shall provide capacity for Customer to have a
maximum monthly wastewater flow of 15,000,000 gallons per month (the "Maximum Capacity"). Wastewater flows
shall not exceed a maximum instantaneous flow of 1,215 gallons per minute (the "Maximum Flow Rate"). The
Maximum Capacity may be reviewed from time to time during the term of this Agreement and may be revised
through written amendment to the Agreement. In the event Customer exceeds the Maximum Capacity, TRU shall
have the right to increase the rate charged to Customer for the amount of wastewater treated which exceeds the
Maximum Capacity, said charge not to exceed 1.9 times the then -current Applicable Rate.
9. Minimum Wastewater Flow Limit.
(a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, TRU shall bill Customer for
treatment of a minimum amount of wastewater flow of 2,500,000 gallons per month ("Minimum
Gal/Month") whether or not such wastewater flow amount is delivered by Customer each month
during the term of this Agreement. The Minimum Gal/Month may be reviewed from time to time
during the term of this Agreement and may be revised through written amendment to the
Agreement as provided for hereinafter.
On or before January 30 of each year of the term of this Agreement, TRU shall determine the total
amount of wastewater measured by the metering point or points serving both Customer and the
Town of McAdenville for each month of the previous calendar year or portion thereof ("Total
Cumulative Monthly Flow"). TRU shall provide Customer with an annual report showing the
total amount by which the Cumulative Monthly Flow exceeds 3,400,000 gallons ("Excess Monthly
Flow"), plus any Excess Monthly Flow remaining from prior years. So long as there is a balance
of Excess Monthly Flow, Customer shall only be required to pay for the actual metered wastewater
flow rather than the Minimum Gal/Month, provided however, that the balance of Excess Monthly
Flow shall be reduced by difference between the actual metered flow and the Minimum Gal/Month
for any month that the actual metered flow is less than the Minimum Gal/Month. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to allow the Customer to pay for less than the actual metered flow.
Attached hereto as Exhibit E is an illustration of how the Parties intend the credits to work in
practice.
(c) If at any time during the term of the Agreement, the Customer and the Town of McAdenville have
been billed and paid for wastewater treatment services for a cumulative total of 742,000,000
gallons, Customer shall for the remainder of the term of this Agreement be billed only for the
actual amount discharged into TRU's system and shall no longer be subject to the Minimum
Gal/Month as set forth in subsection (a) above.
(b)
10. Equalization of Wastewater Flow. Customer shall be required to equalize wastewater flows delivered to the
TRU's system at a flow rate based upon the wastewater flow limits established in its Significant Industrial User
Permit from time to time.
11. Invoicing. Bills for wastewater treatment supplied hereunder shall be rendered and paid monthly. A
"month" shall mean the period between any two regular consecutive billing period readings of the meter measuring
the quantity of wastewater flow in the TRU's system.
12. Significant Industrial User. Customer shall be, in the same manner as all other significant industrial users of
the sanitary sewer system of TRU, subject to all provisions of City's Sewer Use and Industrial Pretreatment
Ordinance ("Ordinance") in effect at the time of execution of this Agreement and as they may be amended from time
to time. Customer shall administer its own industrial pretreatment program. Notwithstanding its status as a
significant industrial user, Customer shall be subject to the Applicable Rate as set forth in Section 7, provided,
however, that Customer shall be subject to any surcharges, fees or penalties assessed for violations of or
noncompliance with the Ordinance or Customer's significant industrial user permit.
13. Use of Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity. During the term of this Agreement, TRU will provide to
Customer wastewater treatment up to the Maximum Capacity. At such time, however, that Customer utilizes
12,000,000 gallons per month (80% of 15,000,000) of such Maximum Capacity for six consecutive billing periods,
TRU and Customer agree to negotiate in good faith a higher Maximum Capacity. In the event TRU must expand its
wastewater facilities in order to provide such higher flow limit to Customer, Customer agrees to pay for its
proportionate share of the costs of the expansion at the time TRU incurs those costs associated with the expansion
necessary to provide such higher flow to Customer.
14. Insurance. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Project Completion Date,
TRU shall maintain commercial general liability insurance which shall provide coverage for bodily injury and
property damage (except automotive equipment) in the following limits of liability: For bodily injury and property
damage; $1,000,000.00 each occurrence with an aggregate limit of not less than $3,000,000.00.A11 contractors hired
by TRU to perform work on property owned by Customer shall maintain insurance policies, including without
limitation, a commercial general liability policy, in such amounts as are generally required by the City of Gastonia
for construction projects of a similar size and complexity. TRU shall require any contractor hired to perform work
on property owned by Customer to name Customer as an additional insured on the contractor's commercial general
liability policy.
15. Force Majeure. In the event either TRU or Customer is unable, in whole or in part, by reason of force
majeure to carry out its obligations, other than to make payments for wastewater treatment services received, it is
agreed that on giving notice of such force majeure as soon as possible after the occurrence of the cause relied upon,
then the obligation of TRU or Customer, so far as each may be affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended
from performance hereunder during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such
cause shall as far as possible, be remedied with all due speed. The term "force majeure" shall mean acts of God,
strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of public enemy, war blockades, riots, landslides, droughts,
storms, floods washouts, arrests and restraints of governments and people, civil disturbances, explosions, inability to
obtain rights -of -way or permits or materials and equipment and supplies, and any other cause not within control of
TRU or Customer, which by the exercise of reasonable diligence by TRU or Customer, is not preventable.
16. Waivers. Neither the failure nor delay on the part of either Party hereto to exercise any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any other right, power
or privilege, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms of the Agreement shall constitute a waiver of the
right of either Party to demand exact compliance with such terms.
17. Invalid Terms. Should any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement be held invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in
full force and effect.
18. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld except that Customer will have the right without the consent of
TRU to transfer or assign this Agreement to any affiliate of Customer or any other person or entity which controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Customer, or to any entity which succeeds Customer by merger or
consolidation, or to any entity which Customer is converted into, or to any entity which acquires the goodwill and
substantially all of the other assets of Customer.
19. Controlling Law/Successors Bound. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina and shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and, with consent of the other party, the assigns of either party hereto.
20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original.
21. Notices. Any notices required or permitted in this Agreement, including address changes, shall be made in
writing and shall be made either by mailing registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and postage
prepaid, to the other party at the address shown herein for that party or at such different address for that party, notice

Stephanie,
See the email chain below. Pharr has the right to assign the SSSUA to an entity under the same control/ownership as
Pharr Yarns so we can't object to the transfer. You will need to let me know what needs to happen to transfer the SIU as
requested and I suppose billing should now be made to Selkirk. As soon as I Amy gives me an answer on who they deem
to be the owner of the private collection system we will need to verify the state agrees and finish working toward that
takeover.

Thank you for providing clarification on the assignment of the agreement. We will let you know what will be required in
order to issue the SIU to Selkirk Realty, LLC.
With regard to the private collection system, is Pharr or Selkirk now the owner? It also appears that with the property
transfers that line now crosses properties owned by both Selkirk and Belmont Land and Investment. Is that correct? As
we work through the transfer of that system we will need to accurately reflect the correct owner and secure the
necessary easements from the correct property owners.

Charles -
If I understand your concern, you want to better understand who the customer is for the SSSUA. Pharr Yarns, LLC has
assigned the rights and responsibilities under the SSSUA to Selkirk Realty LLC, an affiliated entity under common control
with Pharr Yarns, LLC. IT seems that Selkirk Realty LLC would be the proper entity for billing and permitting. Please let
me know if you need further information or wish to discuss further.

Amy

Subject: Pharr Yarns
Amy,
Our wastewater staff has received a request from representatives at Pharr to change the name on Pharr's SIU permit to
Selkirk Properties, LLC. If a company simply changes its name then we would simply change the name on the
permit. Since Selkirk is technically a separate legal entity it may be more involved than a simple name change. Based on
your recent question regarding application of the flow from the private collection system and this name change request
I would like to have some clarification.
As you and I have discussed, we know the SSSUA between Pharr and Gastonia allows Pharr to assign the agreement to a
related entity such as SelKirk. Has that assignment been made in whole or in part? We need to know which entity is our
customer under that agreement and the SIU for several reasons. Also, since the SIU permit involves the privately owned
collection system, and we have ongoing efforts to take ownership of that system we need to know which entity you now
consider to be the owner of that system? Clarification on these points will help us better respond to the changes
requested for the SIU, ensure we are billing the correct customer under the SSSUA and properly complete any transfer
of the collection system to the City.
Thank you,

Limits for Permit NC0004812.pdf;
CAUTION: External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam.
Diana,
The nutrient loads requested in Eagle Road's permit renewal application were supposed to be based on Pharr Yarn's allocation in NPDES permit NC0004812. The nitrogen was
calculated based on 1 MGD flow at 6 mg/L and phosphorus was based on 1 MGD flow at 1 mg/L. However, after getting a copy of Pharr Yarns' permit NC0004812, we see that is
not what is permitted for nitrogen.
Permit NC0004812 lists a total nitrogen limit of 27,397 Ibs/year and a total phosphorus limit of 3044 Ibs/year. We ask that these amounts be transferred to permit NC0006033
for Eagle Road WWTP. If the total nitrogen quantity needs to be broken down into season, we ask that it be divided proportionately according to days in the season (16,063
Ibs/summer and 11,334 Ibs/winter.)
Once again, thank you for your work on this permit. Please reach back out if there is anything else we can provide to you on this or anything else concerning the permit.
Thanks,

Good morning, David
Apologies it took us some time to get back to you. Thanks for the clarification on NC0004812-Pharr Yarns' agreement and its connection to TRU's system -
no nutrient sales agreement is required.
We just noticed we need some clarification on Pharr Yarn's nutrient loads. In the NPDES renewal application, TRU requests that NPDES permit
NC0004812's allocation for 50 Ibs/day of TN and 8.3 Ibs/day of TP. We'll appreciate it if you provide the source document or TRU's calculation for this
nutrient allocation.
Thank you,
Best,

Diana:
The agreement is for transfer and treatment of Pharr Yarns/Selkirk Properties' wastewater. We were under the impression that if the wastewater flow from the discharger was
transferred and being treated by a utility, and the old discharge permit was rescinded, the nutrient allocation would then be transferrable to the entity treating the wastewater.
Accordingly we have not entered into a separate agreement with Pharr/Selkirk concerning the nutrient allocation. If this is not the case and an additional agreement is
necessary, please let us know as this will require significant time to get in place.

Good morning, David
Thank you for the information provided. I just noted that the document does not have an agreement regarding nutrient allocation. If I
understood correctly, the attached is an agreement for TRU to sell wastewater treatment services to Pharr Yarns, LLC (now, Selkirk
Properties, LLC). The rescinded Pharr Yarns' NPDES permit had a nutrient allocation, and TRU is requesting the nutrient allocation to be
added to the Eagle Road WWTP permit (NC0006033). We expect to see a completed agreement between the parties on the nutrient
allocation.
Mike - please correct me if I am wrong.

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1Q10 using the formula 1Q10 = 0.843 (s7Q10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)) Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable
potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.
Page 2 of 4
Permit No. NC0006033
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic)
= (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1 Q 10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
Cdiss = 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [SS('+a>] [10-6] }
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or
site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) — (s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10)
s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable:
1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4
Permit No. NC0006033
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable
concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
10. Hardness and flow values used in the Reasonable Potential Analysis for this permit included:

Notice of Intent to Issue a
NPDES Wastewater Permit
NC0020184 Long Creek
WWTP, and NC0006033 Eagle
Road WWTP
The North Carolina Environ-
mental Management
Commission proposes to
issue a NPDES wastewater
discharge permit to the
person(s) listed below. Writ-
ten comments regarding the
proposed permit will be
accepted until 30 days after
the publish date of this
notice. The Director of the
NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR) may hold
a public hearing should there
be a significant degree of
public interest. Please mail
comments and/or informa-
tion requests to DWR at the
above address. Interested
persons may visit the DWR
at 512 N. Salisbury Street,
Raleigh, NC 27604 to review
information on file. Addi-
tional information on NPDES
permits and this notice may
be found on our website:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisi
ons/water-resources/water-
resources-perm i ts/waste-
water-branch/npdes-waste-
water/public-notices,or by
calling (919) 707-3601. The
City of Gastonia (P.O. Box
1748, Gastonia, NC 2B053) has
requested renewal of the
NPDES Permit N00020184
and NC0006033 for its Waste-
water Treatment Plants in
Gaston County. These
permitted facilities
discharges treated domestic
and pretreated industrial
wastewater to South Fork in
the Catawba River Basin.
Ammonia, biochemical
oxygen demand, dissolved
oxygen, fecal coliform, pH,
total residual chlorine, total
nitrogen, total phosphorous,
and total suspended solids
are water quality limited
parameters in both permits.
These discharges may affect
future allocations in these
segments of the South Fork
Catawba River.

The Division received comments for the Eagle Road WWTP (NC0006033) NPDES Draft Permit Renewal
and provides the following responses:
Comments from Two Rivers Utilities (TRU):
1. Comment on Total Phosphorous (TP) concentration limit
"The draft permit lists a monthly effluent limit for TP of 1.0 mg/L. The fact sheet states that this limit had
been in effect and is continuing; however, in the current permit the total phosphorus concentration limit
ended on 12/31/2017 (when the mass load limit took effect) and only monitoring and reporting is
currently required regarding the total phosphorus concentration. The removal of this limit is also
documented in section 6.7 of the permit's Fact Sheet and is consistent with the manner in which the
allocations are described as being expressed in this section of the Fact Sheet. The City of Gastonia strongly
requests that this monthly average limit be removed and that the phosphorus allocation continues to be
expressed solely as a mass load limit."
Response:
The NPDES permit, effective on April 1, 2017, set up a TP concentration limit to end on December 31,
2017. The TP concentration limit was in effect in previous NPDES permits for this Facility and was removed
per TRU's request. Upon reviewing the 1995 Lake Wylie Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) permitting
strategy and its recommended monthly average limit of 1.0 mg/I for TP, the Division reviewed the current
data projected for the full design flow and has decided not to reinstate the concentration limit. The Lake
Wylie permittees have focused on mass limits, which are acceptable under the TMDL. Therefore, the
Division has determined to maintain the decision from the previous permit cycle.
2. Comment on Conductivity
"Conductivity analysis was added at a daily monitoring frequency for the effluent and at a variable
frequency for the instream samples. The rationale for this change is not addressed in the Fact Sheet, and
the City of Gastonia requests that the conductivity monitoring requirement for the effluent and instream
sampling be removed."
Response:
The conductivity summary in Section 12 of the fact sheet has been updated to reflect the following:
"The Facility has industrial dischargers 15A NCAC 2B.0500."
Basis:
• The Facility has an inactive pretreatment program with one non -significant industrial customer
discharging into Eagle Road WWTP, Syncot Plastic.
• Voluntary conductivity sampling results and results of the expanded effluent scan raise concerns
about industrial discharges in WWTP. Conductivity is added, and Pretreatment staff will follow up
as needed.
3. Comment on Facility components list.
"The facility components listed in item 1 on page 2 of the draft permit do not correctly list the size of
components at Eagle Road WWTP. The correct sizes are: Aeration basin: 6.3 MG; Clarifiers: 690,000
gallons each; Chlorine contact basin: 94,000 gallons"
Response:
Thanks for noting this and providing additional information. The NPDES permit has been updated to reflect
the size of the components noted above. We took the flow capacity information from the Eagle Road Plant
Schematic on Page 36/86 of the application package. Please revise and update as necessary.
4. Comment on Part I Section A. (8.) 1 Reporting Requirements
"Section I A. (8.) 1. of this draft permit requires that "Until such time as the state's eDMR application is
compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be
required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a
copy of the computer printed eDMR ..." The City of Gastonia has previously been informed that signed
copies of the eDMR are no longer required to be submitted and asks that this section be removed if it is
no longer applicable."
Response:
Thanks for noting this language error; the NPDES permit has been updated to reflect the following:
"The Permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be accessed
at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the Facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access,
then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted, and
discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative"
5. Comment on Industrial Activity
"Section 1 of the Fact sheet for this permit states that none of the industrial customers in TRU's service
area discharge to Eagle Road. While there are no industrial customers in the portion of Gastonia/TRU's
collection system that discharge to Eagle Road WWTP, there is one non -significant industrial customer,
Syncot Plastics, in the portion of the City of Belmont's collection system that discharges to Eagle Road
WWTP."
Response:
We misunderstood the April 15, 2021, email from TRU, in which David Schellenberger stated, "None of
the industrial customers in Two Rivers Utilities' service area discharge into Eagle Road WWTP." Section 1
of the Fact Sheet has been updated as follows:
"The pretreatment program has been inactive since 2006. The Facility provided the June 2020 industrial
waste survey (IWS) for the entire area covered by the City of Gastonia's three WWTPs. One non -significant
industrial user (NSIU) in the City of Belmont (Syncot Fibers and Plastics — SIC Code 2299) discharges into
Eagle Road WWTP. Syncot Fibers and Plastics is regulated through the City of Belmont's pretreatment
program."
6. Comment on Fact sheet section 12. TN, TP, and conductivity.
"Section 12 of the fact sheet for Eagle Road WWTP lists information that is inconsistent with the draft and
current permits for the following parameters:
Response:
a. Conductivity: Monitor and Report is listed under "Current Permit Limits and Monitoring
Frequency" for instream samples at a variable frequency, but the current permit does not
have an instream conductivity monitoring requirement.
b. Total Nitrogen (TN): Under "Proposed Change" a MA limit of 6 mg/L is listed along with
comments in "Basis for Condition/Change". This is inconsistent with the current and draft
permits. The City of Gastonia asks that "No Changes" be listed for Total Nitrogen.
c. In Section 12 of the Fact Sheet for this permit under the parameter for Total Phosphorus,
a MA of 1 mg/L is listed for "Current Permit Limits and Monitoring Frequency" but that
limit was removed 12/31/2017. Monitor and Report should be listed in that section for
Total Phosphorus."
a. Instream and effluent Conductivity are listed in the draft permit. The Fact Sheet was
adjusted as explained in response to comment 2 above.
b. TN concentration limit language was adjusted in the fact sheet.
c. The Fact Sheet and NPDES permit were adjusted as explained in response to comment 1
above.
Comment from public member, Lisa Stroup:
Comment: "Because NPDES Permit NC0020184 and NC0006033 are Wastewater Treatment Plants in
Gaston County that discharges treated domestic and pretreated industrial wastewater to South Fork in
the Catawba River Basin; and includes Ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, fecal
coliform, pH, total residual chlorine, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and total suspended solids are
water quality limited parameters in both permits. I request that more stringent requirements and testing
be implemented to further protect the water quality for citizens of this county and the State of NC.
Continuing to implement only a minimum requirement for testing and monitoring and reporting
requirements continues to place the public health, safety and welfare and the environment at undue risk
because of the cumulative impact of other nearby industrial facilities and wastewater treatment
facilities. NC currently has no regulations to avoid contamination and therefore has not adequately
provided effective measures to protect nor enhance the water quality of the State of NC water. We can
no longer accept the minimum requirements as sufficient protection for the public nor for the
environment."
Response:
Thanks for your comment. We appreciate public input and understand your concerns. We, NCDEQ
Municipal Permit Unit, follow and implement the current federal and state regulations to protect surface
water quality. We issue permits to dischargers with limitations on wastewater flow and constituents. This
process includes determining the quality and quantity of treated wastewater that the receiving stream
can assimilate, incorporating input from stream modeling, collaborating with Regional Office staff, and
evaluation of the discharger's location.
Where appropriate, the NPDES program establishes limits for flow (quantity discharged), conventional
pollutants (BOD, pH, TSS, fecal coliform, oil & grease, etc.), toxicants (metals, volatile organics, etc.), and
non -conventional pollutants such as ammonia and nutrients. For more information about the NPDES
process and links to forms, please visit the NPDES Permitting Process page.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
